Chris Richards
26-Year-Old
Crystal Palace
Premier
Plays full game against Portugal
Richards (knee) played the full 90 minutes in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Portugal and is fully fit heading back to his club.
ANALYSIS
Richards had been carefully managed throughout the international break after returning to training earlier in the week, but going the distance against Portugal is the strongest possible confirmation that his knee is no longer a concern. The defender should slot straight back into his starting role with the Eagles heading into the final stretch of the Premier League season, with the World Cup on home soil now just two months away.
